The odometer
r

egisters the total distance travelled by the car.
The trip recorder (trip) shows the distance travelled since the last trip re- corder reset. The last digit of the trip recorder indicates distances of 100
metres or tenths of a mile.
Outside temperature display
When the outside temperature is below +4°C (+39°F), the symbol “ice crys-
tal” (warning of risk of freezing) is also displayed next to the temperature.
At first this symbol flashes and then it remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6°C (+43°F) ⇒  .
When the v ehic

le is at a standstill, with the auxiliary heating on
(⇒ page 163), or when travelling at very low speeds, the temperature dis-
played may be higher than the true outside temperature, as a result of the
heat produced by the engine. The temperatures measured range from -40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).

sponding to the vehicle's direction of travel is displayed on the instrument
